Abstract
The present invention discloses a fluid dispensing system that includes modularized components such as a flow-out member from which fluid dispenses, fluid displacement mechanism, including electronics associated therewith and a reservoir for storage of fluid. The flow-out member, fluid displacement mechanism, and components constituting the fluid dispensing system including the reservoir may have one of a linear or nonlinear cooperative relationship in terms of connectivity and operation, and may be positioned in one of a close proximity or remote locations from one another. Flow out member is provided that may moved in more that one direction to refill reservoir.
Claims20
A fluid dispensing system, comprising:
- a fluid displacement mechanism controlled by an electronic regulator that moves fluid from a reservoir to a flow-out member from which fluid is dispensed;
- the flow-out member is moveably secured directly on a top of an opening of a structure by an adapter, with the structure comprising one of a sink and a countertop;
- the adapter is comprised of a stationary member fixed directly on periphery of the opening of the structure, and a non-stationary member that is associated with the flow-out member;
- the adapter allows mounting of the flow-out member onto the structure directly on top of the opening to allow the flow-out member to move to an open position away from the opening while still connected to the adapter,
- with movement of the flow-out member to open position providing access to the opening for accessing a reservoir through the opening, and movement of the flow-out member back to a closed position closes the opening to close-off access to the reservoir.
A fluid dispensing system, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- a fluid displacement mechanism that moves fluid from the reservoir;
- an electronic regulator that regulates movement of fluid by controlling the fluid displacement mechanism;
- and
- a flow-out member from which fluid is dispensed is moveably secured directly on top of an opening of a structure by an adapter to provide access to the reservoir;
- the adapter is comprised of a stationary member fixed directly on a periphery of the opening of the structure, and a non-stationary member that is associated with the flow-out member.
A fluid dispensing system, comprising:
- a flow-out member moveably associated directly with an opening of a structure by an adapter;
- the adapter is comprised of a stationary member fixed directly on a periphery of the opening of the structure, and a non-stationary member that is associated with the flow-out member;
- the flow-out member is moved to an open position to provide access to the opening for accessing a reservoir, and is moved back to a closed position to close opening to close-off access to the reservoir;
- wherein:
- a fluid displacement mechanism controlled by an electronic regulator moves fluid from the reservoir to the flow-out member from which fluid is dispensed.
